Professional Automatic Digital Car Paint Thickness Gauge

this tool is good enough when checking for bondo on cars

Excellent product. It only took me few minutes to learn how to use. Very accurate and consistent measurements on both Fe and non-Fe surfaces after calibration. Quick readings, clear instructions, large display with backlight. I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a PROFESSIONAL grade device for every day use.

Just received this unit today. The calibration process was easy and fast. I used the Fe plate included, out the box, unit displayed “0”, use the transparent piece and the unit displayed (had it set to mils), the number displayed was within the tolerances!! Finally a meter I can depend on. I had a Cem-156, had to sample 4 to 5 times to get zero set. When I needed it, i had to recalibrate. it was useless. I will definitely recommend this product. They even include a list of car manufacturers with the range in mils of the paint. It’s nice to see your vehicle in the target range. I tested it on my 2016 Toyota Sequoia. I finally have a great working paint meter.

I've just received the gauge and after some testing it appears to be very consistent in terms of accuracy. I also like the fact that it automatically detects materials: Fe vs Al. Now the bad. The entire left side of my vehicle was repainted, although it looks perfect. Ten years ago when I was buying the car I had zero clue. What a bummer! You should definitely buy or borrow a paint gauge if you are in search for a pre-owned vehicle.

So far it has been working great. Use it often when detailing my cars to make sure I’m not taking too much clear coat off. I keep checking against the stands they provided and always registers within the expected range. Super easy to use too, turn on and press down on the paint you want to measure. Well worth the money and much cheaper than a paint job on a car!

Measuring paint on pipe. It is very easy to use

Great value and works well enough for the diy detailer. I like that the instructions list auto manufacturer paint thickness values as reference.

Very satisfied, can recognize even galvanized in hand metal, electroplated the layer is very thin, can also recognize aluminum. Comes without batteries.

Easy to use if you can't spot a repaint for doing PDR glue pulls. Also works well for detailing.

I use this product for checking paint before a paint correction and it works wonderfully.

Easy to use and product worked as advertised.

Very good quality. I am very satisfied with the product. You can safely take!

Works well for the price! Almost wished I didn't have this tool as it revealed two of my cars have had multiple panels repainted each. Calibration confusing if you don't know to place the metal bits under the clear slides. This wasn't immediately clear from the instructions.

Item as described. Fast delivery. I recommend the store.

This is great a most for paint correction checking to see how much clear coat a vehicle has before doing any correction tool works as expected

It seems to be working great so far over the past month. We use it to do body inspections and it seems to be fairly accurate once calibrated. We tested with our sister dealers much more expensive unit and it was very close if not dead on on every panel we tested.

Works great have tried it on multiple surfaces and is accurate and it beats spending $500 on a high end device that will tell you pretty much the same.

I love the accuracy of this product

We use it in the Auto Recycling business to qualify our body parts to check for paint thickness or prior repairs. Very simple and easy to use. I can walk around an entire vehicle and spot check each panel in under a minute. Have only had ours for just a few months but it has been a great help for us.

Works good, easy to use. Detected repair on my vehicle rear door very accurately

Worked on this single stage Mustang and without this guy I wouldn’t have known how much paint I was working with. I knew exactly how much I could polish off, if you’re looking for a confidence booster this is your best friend.

I recently bought an older MB that needed a fairly DEEP paint correction to remove some heavy scratches and swirls. But of course I didn't want to risk going TOO deep, all the way through the clear-coat. So I bought this meter and measured the thickness everywhere I was about to compound. I also measured the thickness inside the door jam and trunk lid (where the clear coat is very thin) to get an idea of how far I could go. The job turned out very well (nearly perfect) and I still have enough clear coat remaining for looks and UV protection. Subsequently, I applied a ceramic coating for more protection, and it looks great. Anyway, I found this meter accurate (based upon the paint thickness samples provided), easy to use, and good value when compared to similar products.

Very easy to use. Good for using when doing paint correction and to tell if the vehicle has been repainted.

This device is dead simple to use and is certainly accurate enough for me. My wife's Honda had some low-quality paint work done to it and I had burned through the clearcoat trying to fix it. After sanding and repainting it, I used this device to make sure I didn't do that again! I was able to remove nearly all of the orange peel, with no fear of burning through the clearcoat or paint. It looks great and she is very pleased. It is very helpful to be able to compare my paint job against "factory" paint thickness. The manufacturer thickness guide included with the instructions is very helpful. I will use this tool for my own Toyota, which has single-stage paint. The accuracy and ease of use of this tool have been a big help and will give me real peace of mind from now on.

Perfect. It work just fine for my detail business.
